The Udiana Choir is a gathering place for singers who wish to create quality music together, through listening as one.
The choir was founded by the conductor, Anat Aharoni, in 2004 in Kibbutz Harduf, and currently numbers roughly 20 singers who live in the Jezreel Valley, Haifa, and the north. It has been partially supported by the Ministry of Culture and Sport since 2012.

 

The choir specializes in singing a cappella, performs mainly contemporary works, and is privileged to collaborate with the best musicians and orchestras in Israel. As well as working under the direction of Anat Aharoni, the choir works with top-tier guest conductors from Israel and around the world.
 

Stemming from the desire to support Israeli composers, the Udiana Choir regularly commissions new pieces to incorporate into its repertoire.

Who Are We

"Our desire to reach the depths of music gives us wings and allows us to reach places beyond ourselves. We consider it a huge gift to participate in the world of choir singers from over the generations, joining musical giants and the beauty they bring."
